My wife and youngest are at the game up close and both are pretty disgusted with it all.
She's telling me the entire vibe of the place is edgy and angry.
It's all such a bad look for these proud universities.
Makes one grateful for coaches who recruit kids that have character, not kids who are merely characters.

Both programs and coaches thrive on being edgy and in your face

I'm getting too old to care whether it's a popular viewpoint:
But my momma always said "You'll treat me like a lady until I prove otherwise."
These days, it seems being a lady is looked on as a liability, a sign of weakness.
How wrong they are.

Unless you are a dude. Then it's all right to be a lady. Backwards world we are living in.

Hardly proud universities or at least not fan bases you can be proud of for the most part

to their respective states and countries.
These are low moments by comparison.

Seems like this is the basic US culture. Seems like we have evolved over the last 20 years or so into this current state. Anything is acceptable nowadays.

I still hold out a lot of hope for our nation because so many kids are solid, humble, resilient.
But this here is ugly. And it shouldn't be glorified or held up as the ideal.
I'll be interested to see what the head coaches of both programs do in response to this. Especially Staley, whose player was the primary instigator.

Staley is a radical and an instigator most of the time so you probably will not get much out of her to calm things down. She loves to stir the pot. Just ask her wife.

given the lessons of history.
But today certainly supports that idea.

seen East of Eden, but, it was certainly a disappointing display.
I'm glad to hear Staley apologized on behalf of the team.

It'll be all over social media and prolly on ESPN but ...

things got chippy late in the game.
UofSC's #10 shoved LSU's #4 to the ground.
Benches cleared.
Some fans tried to jump the scorer's table and get in the fight.
One got taken out in bracelets.
Most of both teams ejected.
My wife/daughter were courtside and stayed for the award ceremony,
said Staley apologized for her team's behavior.

yeah, I remember that one. Guess who the other party was? They ran to the hill and taunted the tigers from the beginning and throughout the game. Not very smart to do that to a team that whipped your ### 63-17 the year before.

There is no contextual reference in your message. What are you talking about?

I have never heard of a USuC team or coach use the word character. They may have and I didn't read or hear about it but that seems to be something they are not very interested in and it shows.
